Marriage in crisis

After hanging up the phone, I fell asleep in seconds. My brain seemed to be out of control. Even the incense on the quilt seemed to be tempting me to sleep.

I slept so soundly that I don’t know how long I would have slept if I hadn’t been woken up by the phone call.

I reached out my hand impatiently and fumbled around, picked up the phone and took a look. It was an unfamiliar number. I came to my senses a little, squinted my eyes and looked again, but the caller had already hung up.

I closed my eyes again and muttered, "Who is so impatient?"

Just when I was about to drift off into dreamland again, the phone rang again. I immediately turned over, picked up the phone and took a look, feeling very angry about waking up.

I picked up the phone immediately. "Hello! Who is this?"

A woman's voice came from the phone, with a fake smile, "Mrs. Rong, am I disturbing you?"

I suddenly woke up, my brain was spinning rapidly, this is...

"I'm so sorry, I'm Gina Ami!" The person on the other end gave her name.

Gina Ami?

My mind tensed. I didn't expect her to call me so soon. I was really impatient.

"Oh... it's you!" I smiled perfunctorily, "I am indeed a little tired these days, I just woke up!"

"I'm sorry to bother you!" Gina Ami smiled sweetly, "I don't have anything to say, I just want to ask, when will you come to Myanmar? I'm worried about you!"

"I'm not sure yet!" My mind quickly reacted, wondering whether I should tell her that I had left Country T.

But the next second, I told the truth, "I'm here to see an old friend, and now I'm no longer in Country T!"

"Ah? Is that so?" Gina Ami was obviously disappointed and asked again, "Why don't you come to Myanmar to take a look?"

I said, "There must be a stop in Mianchuan, just in these two days!"

She immediately grasped the point, "Then be sure to call me when you get here!"

"Of course!" I laughed. "I'll definitely trouble you!"

"No way, I'm looking forward to your arrival!" She said exaggeratedly, and then said tactfully, "Then I won't bother you, I'll just wait for your arrival!"

"Okay! I'll call you in advance!" I asked again, "Is this your cell phone number? I'll write it down!"

After hanging up the phone, I reacted and quickly got up. I felt very hungry!

I looked at the time and it was already 9:40. I felt so embarrassed and got up quickly, washed up and made my bed.

When I arrived at the lobby, I saw Yuxiang and Amanda chatting happily there, but there was no sign of Chi Xi.

As soon as they saw me come out, Amanda immediately asked, "Did you sleep well?"

I smiled awkwardly, "It's not just good, it's great! So you see, I just woke up! And I was woken up by the phone call!"

Amanda immediately asked the maid to prepare breakfast. Amanda looked at me lovingly and said, "Go and have breakfast!"

Only then did I realize that the building had its own kitchenette.

When I sat down at the table, I found that they were all Chinese-style breakfasts. What made me most hungry was the crystal clear wontons. I ate two small bowls in one go and also ate some small buns. My appetite was quite good.

After I finished my meal and returned to the hall, I saw Chi Xi and Lai Ya were there.

I asked and they said they were going to visit Si Zhanxiong's living room.

I looked at Chi Xi curiously, "Why did you think of looking at his living room?"

"I want to check to see if there is any hidden passage or something like that." Chi Xi said with a smile.

"The results of it?"

"There's none in the living room, but... there are some in the Buddhist hall!"

I was immediately excited, "Really?"

Chi Xi nodded, "There are two exits. One is a forest on the side, and the other is next to a big banyan tree on the side street. There is an underground well there, and the line of sight is just blocked by the old banyan tree."

I gloated and said, "It seems that the housekeeper didn't have time to notify us yesterday. Otherwise, Bai Wenzhuo's residence is very close to the Buddhist temple. As long as we enter the secret passage, it will be difficult for us to find him."

Amanda said quietly, "It seems there are still secrets in this house that I don't know about!"

I looked at her and said with a gossipy look on my face, "I'm very curious about Si Zhanxiong's attitude when he returned to Si Mansion!"

"Let's wait and see!" Amanda seemed to be looking forward to it too.

However, to our disappointment, we never got to wait for Si Zhanxiong to return to Si Mansion.
